TRISTAN:Exactly! Thank you!
PETAL:Florence didexactlywhat they asked her to do. She didn’t hesitate, she didn’t pull back, she didn’t try to play coy-
TRISTAN:-and then she got punished for it.
PRODUCER:Punished how?
TRISTAN:Don’t do that. You know how.
PETAL:They kissed her like it mattered. And then they talked about her like it didn’t.(A beat.)
That’s… very confusing for an omega.
TRISTAN:It’s confusing foranyone.
PRODUCER:Some viewers might say she took it too seriously.
PETAL:Then maybe they shouldn’t have asked for sincerity.
TRISTAN:Or maybe they shouldn’t have acted like they wanted it.
PETAL:Yeah. If you don’t want an omega to trust you, don’t give her a reason to.
TRISTAN:And if youdogive her a reason? You don’t get to act surprised when she believes you.
PRODUCER:Do you think Florence is upset?
PETAL:I think she’s being very brave.
TRISTAN:I think she’s handling it better than most people would.
PETAL:And I think anyone who calls that “overreacting” should maybe take a long look at how they treat omegas.
TRISTAN:Yeah.(Beat)Especially on television.
Episode 24: Wish Upon a Star
I probably shouldn’t be here.
No. I know I shouldn’t be here.
But I don’t want to leave things as they are.
I don’t want Florence, my determined little killer, to spend one more moment thinking we don’t care about her. That couldn’t be further from the truth, and it feels inherently wrong to my alpha—to me—for her to walk around thinking that is the case.
My alpha will not allow me to leave it how we did this afternoon. With her tolerating us.
I need her forgiveness. I need her understanding. And I need… her.
So casting a look around and spotting no one, I lift a hand and knock on the door.Herdoor.
I know Court has already been here. I’m pretty sure after the capture the flag challenge he spent the night with her. He wandered in early the next morning smelling off. Not bad off, just not like himself.
I can’t blame him for that. I’d wanted to do the same, crawl into bed with her and hold her close, verify with the steady rise and fall of her chest that she was okay.
Though by the smug swagger he’d had all morning, I suspect he did more than just hold her all night. No, they definitely got physical. And then he turned around this morning and called her kiss midrange.
No wonder Ren was hurt and pissed off.
